A comfortable single room in a two bedroom house. Rental includes the use of the whole house (ie. bathroom, kitchen, living room, and garden.
PLEASE NOTE.my house is in biggleswade which is just outside bedford[between bedford and cambridge]please check my map for exact location.
Mine is an old, terraced house which is warm and cosy with a nice garden. if you are looking for an ultra modern pad with all mod cons this is not my place - it is a nice place to stay when you can't be at home. It's only a ten minute walk to the station and the train takes 45 minutes into London or a 1 minute drive from the A1M and an hour's drive to London. It's also only an hour away fron the centre of Cambridge.
I do also have one friendly dog, so pet lovers only please.
Please note, my room would be suitable for any students coming to study in Cambridge, but my room is not actually in Cambridge but a 30 minute train journey away.
my listing also includes wifi.

I was working very long hours this week, in order to meet deadlines set. I asked Anne if it was still ok if I got there quite late and left early - Anne was very accommodating to this. Although I only had around 3-4 hours sleep, it was good sleep and was refreshed enough for the meeting that morning. House was clean and tidy and bed was very comfortable with extra cushions! Anne asked me whether I wanted a drink as soon as I arrived.

Mathew2015-10-09T00:00:00Z

Anne and her Dog Bambam were very friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. I felt like home away from home as I felt genuinely free and confortable. Anne always offered a cup of tea and smile which was very nice of her. The house is clean and tidy throughout. The bathroom was the same too, clean and nice. Its a very short distance to A1 where I worked during my stay. Overall very convenient all round. I look forward to my next stay at Annes. I will definitely recommended to everyone.

Great, no problems at all. A nice clean cottage with good access to town and A1 road . Good evening food in area, super fish and chips in easy distance. Parking on street a short distance away. Might be a problem for some. Hope to be back, says it all.

david2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

Anne is a perfect hostess and has become someone I would call a friend. This lovely little home will see me again. Clean and well kept with a welcome atmosphere, who could ask for more!

Double room in quiet village in Bedfordshire. You'll have whole house to yourself except for rare occasions when we are there.
House is a small two-bedroom home, with all mod-cons including internet and Sky TV. The living room is cosy and comfortable.
House has a nice garden with white picket fence overlooking fields at the back and front.

Clean and tidy house. Your room has a big, comfy bed. There is also a wardrobe and drawers for storage.
The cosy living room has a big TV with Sky.

Set in a pretty village in the Bedfordshire countryside. There's a village shop, a fish and chip shop (that also does pizza and kebabs) and a pub. There is also a playing field with cricket games in the summer.

This is a great place to stay! Just as described, really lovely. Dan was not about but helpful if you need anything. Thank you

Bev2015-11-06T00:00:00Z

Fantastic 3 night stay at this location. Garden was lovely especially the apple trees. Would recommend to anyone needing accommodation in the area.

Warm and clean home. Dan was a very good and polite host. I don't have any complaints. I recommend it for sure.

Nicolás2017-07-28T00:00:00Z

We very much enjoyed our stay in Dan's home in Blunham. The house is compact but ideal for a couple to stay in for a country break. The garden is lovely with views out to fields behind. Blunham is close to the Great Ouse River and surrounding country. 15 minutes drive to Bedford and even closer to Sandy with easy access from the A1. The house is equiped with a good kitchen and comfortable lounge with a Sky TV. The only minor thing is that the staircase is very steep so not suitable for anyone with limited mobility.

Jonathan2017-08-12T00:00:00Z

Dan's little home is very nice and cosy.... clean and tidy... It has a great beautiful garden that unfortunately I was not able to enjoy due to the cold winter time... but in summer time it must be very pleasant to stay out ... Dan is a great host and made me feel very comfortable and at ease during the 3 days I spent in England .

The Barn is detached from a charming Grade II thatched cottage proving extremely comfortable contemporary accomodation, having been completely refurbished to a very high standard. Situated in a very enviable position, less than 2 minutes drive to the A1, with links to A421 and A428. The nearest train station is within 5 minutes drive where direct trains to London are as quick as 45 minutes. The Barn is In the small village of Tempsford, situated at the end of a country lane overlooking beautiful open fields. The village pub , serving traditional home cooked food is less than a minutes walk.

Idyllic position , not overlooked, country views yet direct access to major roads

This is a great place to stay. The accommodation was very comfortable and Karen went out of her way to ensure that we had everything that we needed. Will definitely consider returning

Anne2017-05-27T00:00:00Z

This is a lovely barn. Was just perfect for what I needed and in a really beautiful country setting. Hosts were great!

Sajni2017-04-20T00:00:00Z

This barn truly is 'delightful' as it says in the description. We received a very friendly welcome from Karen and Paul along with a basket of goodies to set us up for our stay. Karen also recommended some very good places to eat. The John O'Gaunt pub in Sutton (10 mins) is not to be missed for its excellent food. The self-contained barn is fitted out to a high standard not far from a boutique hotel. The view is straight onto fields, where we saw a lot of different birds and a lone fox. The garden is secluded and for the sole use of guests. We only wished the weather had been warmer to allow us to take advantage of the private terrace to watch the amazing sunsets. This is the perfect place for a quiet, luxury stay in the countryside. It far exceeded our expectations - go in summer to take advantage of the beautiful location.

Kate2017-04-26T00:00:00Z

Our stay has been slightly different to most Air BnB users as we have actually been staying here for two months. The Barn itself has everything you could need during your stay, and is perfectly located for relaxing walks to the local pubs, runs in the countryside as well as good road links to nearby towns such as Sandy, Bedford and Peterborough (I was commuting here daily). Don't miss out on the opportunity to stay here. Karen and Paul will make you feel so welcome and you will be guaranteed to leave your stay feeling refreshed and regenerated!

Victoria2017-07-22T00:00:00Z

Karen is a great host, making you feel very welcome. The barn is great, so clean and cozy. The bed was amazingly comfortable I really didn't want to leave! Would def come back for more relaxation, very peaceful and just what I needed.

Hana2017-04-22T00:00:00Z

Well what a gorgeous place to find .. It's beautifully done out and immaculate inside. Karen has done a lovely job of making the barn feel comfortable and cosy... it's been my sanctuary while working nearby , and coming back to peace and quiet to have a beer on the patio and watch the sunset has been great. Fantastic shower, Great goodie box on arrival , including beer in the fridge! The pictures don't do it justice ... 5* Boutique accommodation ... Thank you so much for letting me and my pampered pooch stay... and he thanks you for the lamb bones !

Julia2017-08-29T00:00:00Z

The Barn is even prettier than the photos. We loved our stay. It is a pretty, private location. The bed is very comfortable, the shower is good, and the studio is spotlessly clean. The hostess is quick and helpful with communications.

Kate2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

Beautiful studio cottage, in a great location. Felt like I was staying right out in the country side, but was only half an hour commute to Milton Keynes. Karen was a great host.

'The Pippins' is a four bedroom B&B sleeping up to nine people, with a large pretty garden, indoor pool, and views of fields and the green. It is peaceful and rural and yet only 45-60mins to King's Cross, London. Zuzana's cooking is sensational too.

Pippins is a great base for relaxing with its pool and gardens, especially after exploring London, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire... The house and all rooms are comfy and spacious and make an excellent venue for a family house party. There is a charge for the guest (no for guests up to 9 who stays overnight) staying a day time 15.-/person for using the facilities. The Long Room with its piano can seat up to max. 20 people to dinner, or be a huge playroom for the children. It opens to the garden with its trees and shrubs and lawn.The disability suite on the ground floor has a kitchenette as well as a wet room shower en-suite. The real bed folds into the wall, creating an additional reception room with French doors to the garden. Upstair has three bedrooms with a shared family bathroom. There is a further shower bathroom downstairs by the pool, and an additional separate toilet. I your host, Zuzana, live at the house and pride myself on my lovely clean house and marvellous breakfasts. Other meals are available on request which are billed separately.

This is rural England with the green, a working farm opposite Pippins, good pubs, pleasant walks, a lovely old church at Northill, Mayday celebrations at Ickwell, Shuttleworth planes and car colection, Swiss garden and very easy access to London by train (31-50 mins) Cambridge by car(45 mins), Oxford (1hour) and other places of interest.

Dear Zuzana Thank you for making my family so welcome at The Pippins last Saturday, you were a very welcoming and helpful host, and made them feel at home. there was plenty of room for parking, which is always helpful. I was doing some of the taxiing from the station at Sandy, which is only 5 minutes away (my brother and his family arrived by train from London and were pleasantly surprised it only took around 35 mins) so it was so easy! The Pippins is situated in the most peaceful and pretty surroundings which really helped to settle the family. On Saturday evening we had a big family get together and managed to sit 12 of us comfortably round the table, using some of the chairs from the kitchen. as chief cook and bottle washer, I found your kitchen facilities more than adequate to cater for that number, the dishwasher was certainly well used! the icing on the cake for the kids was the swimming pool, particularly for the younger members of the family, the older 2 boys played football on the green while the adults enjoyed the hot tub facilities - there was something for everyone! we were lucky with the weather too and made use of the garden between sunny spells and showers. The bedrooms were very clean, pretty with plenty of room and they all found the beds very comfortable and slept well. after a late, but hearty, breakfast they left for Cambridge next morning, again they were delighted it is only about 35ish minutes from your house. I would like to once again thank you for being such a warm, welcoming host and for ensuring my family had a great time visiting this beautiful part of the country. they look forward to a return visit! kind regards, Vicky

Andrew2016-04-11T00:00:00Z

I read a lot of great reviews of Zuzana's place before we came. All the reviews were true. It was one of the best Airbnb experience I've ever had. The location is great and Zuzana is such a great host. Delicious breakfast too! Our whole family had a wonderful time.

We booked Pippins as we were looking for a house that was suitable for a big get together – we’ve all been friends from university and now live in different parts of the country and have some children. Right from the first enquiry we made about the house Zuzana was quick to reply with all the information we needed. The check in arrangements were made with ease and as soon as we arrived we felt like we were visiting old friends. We were made to feel welcome and comfortable the moment we stepped into the house – lots of special touches including homemade sausage rolls. The house was extremely spacious which was what we needed as we had some mischievous little one with us. The pool and hot tub were nice extras which we enjoyed. We spent the evening in the house and collected a curry from the local take-away and then in the morning we had a delicious fry-up cooked by Zuzana. We had a little wonder around the local area which was very scenic and took in the farm shop. All in all it was a perfect get-away and we’ll be booking again next year. Thank you so much for being us feel so welcome.

Charmaine2016-05-16T00:00:00Z

This house was perfect for a nice girls night in hen weekend. We went out to a local restaurant for lunch, then back to the house and had some pampering and relaxing in the pool and then sat down and cooked an easy meal while playing games and having a murder mystery night. Breakfast cooked by the hostess the next morning and included in the price. Absolutely perfect for what we wanted and the hostess makes you feel like it is your own home!

Laura2016-11-27T00:00:00Z

This was a great place for a girlie get together to celebrate my birthday. Large clean and comfy rooms, lovely quiet garden for sunbathing and the hot tub and pool were used a lot! (Bathrobes and towels supplied - a nice surprise! ) The cooked breakfast was delicious and made our stay extra special. There was a great pub nearby too for a great Sunday lunch. A thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Clare2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

Zazana was the perfect host, very accommodating to our needs and definitely one of the best breakfasts I've had in a very long time! The house is near Hatch in a beautiful part of the Bedford countryside, surrounded largely by fields. Overall it was a wonderful place to relax for a few days and i'd happily recommend it to others.

Nigel and Fiona were perfect hosts and so helpful, even arranging to pick us up and take us to the train station. Potton is a lovely village and their place is a great location right next to shops and pubs. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic place with loads of space and privacy. Hosts made us feel very comfortable and were very patient throughout with their great communication. Have been very cooperative despite our running a tad too late at checkin. Mrs Nigel was too kind enough to offer our baby a co sleeper alongside the travel cot. Would definitely recommend this place for anyone wanting to stay near Cambridge and wouldn't mind the distance.

Everything you require for a relaxing stay. All pubs, restaurants are in walking distance to include The Croft Kitchen which is a Michellin Starred restaurant. 3 minute walk to Biggleswade Train Station which takes 34 minutes to London Kings Cross. Local town markets on Wednesday and Saturday. If your driving, then it takes 7 minutes from the A1M motorway.

It is very quiet set in a small town but close to London

Very friendly and welcoming town.

Hayley's place is very conveniently located in the centre of Biggleswade. Easy access to all the key amenities and you can also walk to the train station within 10 minutes (Trains frequently run into London Kings Cross and up to Cambridge). The flat was clean and had everything I needed, Hayley even provides access to Netflix. Check-in was smooth and although she wasn't around, due to work commitments, she gave me a call soon after check-in and once more during the stay to ensure that all was ok. Overall a very easy and smooth stay.

Dante2017-04-26T00:00:00Z

Well equipped flat in a great location. Brilliant communication and welcome from Hayley.

Alan2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

Hayley's flat is extremely well located, with the station about 5 minutes' walk away, as well as a huge supermarket just across the road. The flat is very well equipped with cooking equipment and washing machine, as well as anything else you'd need for a stay in the area. Hayley was a great host and very quick to reply to messages, as well as being helpful when we needed a place to leave our car. Recommended!

My second stay in this lovely little house, and I loved it. Everything works, everything is clean, and it's all really nice. Would recommend this stay to anyone.

Teri2017-02-16T00:00:00Z

What a little gem! Lovely one bedroom flat equipped with all that one can possibly need when away from home. Hayley is a very attentive host, and kept communicating with me to ensure check-in was seamless and to make sure everything was fine during the stay. This is such a comfy little home, I booked it for my brother who felt so at home. Hayley is so thoughtful that she has even made sure her guest have access to Netflix & Amazon Prime video. It is such a great location in Biggleswade, you can walk to the town centre in 5 mins (the flat is located in a street parallel to the high street) and to the Biggleswade train station in 10 mins (straight journey into London in 33 mins in peak hour, around 45 mins otherwise). If you happen to drive a little car, you also get a free parking space with your stay. Loved this place , in fact, I have already booked 2 more trips this month! I highly recommend it.

Moggerhanger Park is a truly unique Country House Bed and Breakfast set in the beautiful Bedfordshire countryside. The House is recognised as one of the few surviving country houses designed by the eminent architect, Sir John Soane. We have Single, Double, Twin, Superior and Bridal Bedrooms, all with ensuite. A Double-Occupancy Bedroom is priced at £85 per night, including breakfast.

In the House Grounds we have a bespoke childrens’ play area designed by Hardie Studios, whose founder William Hardie, regularly features on a range of design programmes shown on Channel 4.
Each year we look forward to the arrival of Snowdrops and Bluebells by the coppiced area. Guests with an interest in gardening, will enjoy the on-going restoration work to the walled kitchen garden and orchard.
Our Old Kitchen Café is open from Tuesday to Sunday, 10:00am to 4:00pm and serves a selection of teas and coffee, freshly made cakes and snacks, and of course Afternoon Tea.

There are a number of local attractions within a few minutes’ drive for guests to enjoy. The Shuttleworth Aeroplane & Automotive Collection, RSPB Nature Reserve and Jordans Mill are attractions well worth visiting. The surrounding countryside, with sweeping views of the Ivel Valley, are popular with cyclists and walkers alike.

Overall, our experience as a great one. The building is a lovely old Manor house with lovely surrounding grounds. You feel like you are travelling back in time a little (a nice touch), due to the size of some of the doorways and the lightly worn parts of the stone stairs due to the repeated use of the servants from a bygone era. It is well complemented with cozy rooms, tv, comlimentary tea and coffee and a hot shower. Breakfast was great too!

David2016-12-04T00:00:00Z

Wonderful experience at Moggerhanger. We could not have had a nicer stay, it was simply perfect. Quiet, clean, comfy, warm and the lady was so friendly. I want to go back every weekend. Thank you so much!

A modern apartment in a converted mill . Next to the river Ivel, beautiful views, modern, spacious and within walking distance to main line station and town centre.

Anne-Michelle is an amazing host! So welcoming and friendly. The apartment is beautiful and the location is brilliant; by the river, off the Main Street so feels secluded but is still really close to town. And it has a parking space! The bedroom was clean, bright and spacious and Anne-Michelle had left a welcome note and treat. It felt like every effort had been made to make our stay not just comfortable but a thoroughly enjoyable experience! A real pleasure to stay there!

Set within 35 acres of ancient pastureland, The Old Dairy is part of Ickwell Bury, dates from 1680 and fronts onto the historic courtyard. The views to the rear are across our fields currently grazed by sheep and cattle.
We are on the Greensand Ridge, popular for its vast and beautiful 40 mile network of footpaths and bridleways. The village Green is at the end of our drive.
Cambridge (37 mins by car), London (28 - 40 mins train), Shuttleworth Swiss Garden/Air Shows (10 -15 min walk).

The Old Dairy is a bright and airy property with beautiful rural views set in the historic and very pretty village of Ickwell. All of the rooms are on the ground floor and there are no internal steps. The kitchen is equipped for most meals and is stocked with croissants, fresh milk, Tropicana orange juice, teas, coffees, Kellogg's individual cereals and other kitchen essentials.

Ickwell is famous for its huge and well attended annual May Day, an established custom which dates back to at least the late 1500's. Ickwell Cricket club is one of the oldest in Bedfordshire and has been the scene of competitive summer games for over a hundred years.
Many of our guests visit the Shuttleworth's regular flying shows featuring aircraft from their own collection and visiting planes as well as their many other events.

We had a lovely two night stay here. It's a very peaceful location and the Old Dairy is exactly as described and very comfortable. Christina and Simon were very helpful and were on hand straight away to deal with couple of technical issues that we had - which were our own doing! On arrival Christina had also left us an array of breakfast items which was very nice touch, and the loan of the muffin tin was greatly appreciated! Would definitely return!

Sheila2016-10-30T00:00:00Z

Asha2016-11-06T00:00:00Z

I really enjoyed my stay, the hosts Simon and Chrisitina are wonderful hosts and nothing was too much trouble throughout my stay. The home is a wonderful hideaway and as a business traveller made a perfect base to work from, being close to most of the clients I was visiting in the Bedford and Ampthill. The home is well equipped, spacious and parking is just outside the door. I would recommend visiting the local farm shops if you like home produce and cooking, there is also a couple of pubs nearby, but i did not visit them during my stay(URL HIDDEN)

Andrew2016-08-05T00:00:00Z

Situated in a bucolic setting, this special place is a real winner. We felt privileged to stay here. Very comfortable, warm. Nice bed, plenty of room in both living room and bedroom. Christina and Simon have done a beautiful job setting up this house -- and they go the extra mile to make guests feel welcome. We got a specially tailored message ahead of time with suggestions for additional sight-seeing, excellent directions and a warm welcome as we arrived. There were two beautiful fresh flower arrangements and some thoughtfully provided goodies for us to eat. As we were on a longer trip, we needed to do laundry and Christina was very helpful with this. We enjoyed chatting with them both and were especially grateful for the assistance with returning our rental car and catching the train to London. Highly, highly recommend this place to stay.

George2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

Beautiful, secluded, getaway cottage. A short walk to the local pub across a quaint village green. In perfect countryside for cycling if that's your thing, too

Tom2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

What a fab place and fabulous hosts too! We were really made welcome in this gorgeous place (Christina kindly upgraded us to the Chauffeur's cottage as had a last minute cancellation - but both places were extremely well presented, lovely and warm, all decoration and equipment also to a very high standard (and all felt brand new!) - this coupled with fabulous views, super comfy and spacious beds and oh so peaceful too. The best welome when we arrived and just got better and better. I had fairly high expectations based on previous reviews but these were all exceeded - real pleasure to meet and talk with you both, and really love what you have done so far - and we will definately be back if you will have us! (Kevin Leigh and the dogs) - this was much more than just a few nights' stay!

Shyre Cottage is a 16th century cottage (2200 sq ft) in a prime location on the picturesque and unique Ickwell Green. A perfect getaway from lifes' pressures and stress, yet only 27 minutes by fast train to London. Biggleswade and Sandy are 10 minutes away, Bedford 20 minutes, Cambridge 35 minutes, 40 minutes from Bletchley Park, 45 minutes from Luton Airport, 60 minutes from Stanstead and 5 minutes from the A1. So whilst peace and solitude are the watchwords, 'accessibility' is their bedmate!

In Summer, Cricket is played on the village green: you can watch it from a bench 50 metres from the house - or if you are feeling really lazy, from the Dining Room! Twice a month, you also have the benefit of a free flying display of vintage aircraft from the unique and world-famous Shuttleworth Collection - 20 minutes walk and worth a visit. In Shuttleworth Park, you will also find the very beautiful Swiss Garden (URL HIDDEN)

As already stated, Ickwell Green is a 'traditional' English village in every sense of what one would expect. Houses are situated around the edge of the Green, and we not only have a 300 year-old Oak tree to look out upon and a very actively used Cricket pitch, but we also have a Maypole - also very actively used in May! May Day celebrations date back to Elizabeth the First and are enthusiastically continued every year.

Other attractions include historic Old Warden Park, created in the early 19th century. The Shuttleworth Collection of vintage aeroplanes, one of the most prestigious in the world, is just three miles west.

We enjoyed our stay with Zoe and she gave us a warm welcome to her lovely home. Our room was very pleasant and we slept very well in the comfortable bed. Zoe gave good directions to the house and was flexible about our arrival time. Many thanks for having us, Zoe!

Clean clean clean! This is one of the most spotless homes I've ever been in through Airbnb and I've got about 50 stays under my belt. Everything was ready for us when we arrived. We are a party of three and needed an air mattress in addition to the bed. It was a very comfortable stay. Zoë and her husband John are very congenial and we had a nice chat in the evening. They had to leave for work in the morning as it was a weekday but they left us some things to make our own breakfast and it was very much appreciated. They have a very friendly smallish dog and a fluffy white cat. But the place is kept so tidy I never had any fur on my clothes and my mild cat allergy didn't flair up. Definitely recommend.

lovely village in the countryside, quiet neighbourhood. Very welcoming and with a chat over a cup of tea made me feel very much at home. great experience overall

John2016-09-14T00:00:00Z

Zoe was the most welcoming host..she went out of her way to make me feel welcome and her home was perfectly located for my business meeting. The room was immaculate and had everything I needed..the bed was incredibly comfy and I had a brilliant nights sleep. Zoe is a lovely friendly lady who makes you feel welcome in her home and her two pets..a gorgeous doggy and beautiful fluffy cat made a big fuss of me..I wouldnt hesitate to stay here again..thank you

Erica2016-10-12T00:00:00Z

Zoë was friendly and warm, her place was clean and welcoming and easy to find, and she even went out of her way to have breakfast options for my family's restricted diet.

Emily2017-06-06T00:00:00Z

Zoe and John were very welcoming and very easy going. They offered to drive us to the pub for dinner in case we wanted to drink. It was very hot while we were there and Zoe found us a fan for the room. A very comfortable stay!

Glenn2017-06-20T00:00:00Z

Zoe is extremely welcoming and friendly. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and did not disappoint. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in and around Biggleswade.

Miguel2016-12-27T00:00:00Z

Staying with Zoë is really comfortable and it's great to play with the cat and the environment is very clean and tidy, also Zoë welcomed us warmly and we'll definitely stay there again soon!

Set in the pretty rural hamlet of Thorncote Green Bedfordshire, Pippins studio flat is a great place 2-3 people to stay with a swimming pool, hot tub and sauna for B&B guests and easy access to London.

This spacious property is a studio flat situated on the ground floor of Pippins. With its own private wheel chair friendly access, the studio also has a kitchen with electric hob , fridge freezer, microwave etc which leads to a very spacious bedroom/living room with a very comfortable (DB Dreamworks Beds) pull down double bed. We can also add a further bed for children. Views from the studio are of the pretty garden to the rear and the attractive village green to the front. The bathroom has full disabled access with shower.

Our cooked English breakfast is from our local farm shop Franklins of Thorncote which is situated opposite Pippins. All the meat and eggs are free range and the bread is from our local bakers Gunns. We pride ourselves on providing good local and traceable food.
This is rural England with the green, a working farm opposite Pippins, good pubs, pleasant walks, a lovely old church at Northill, Mayday celebrations at Ickwell, and very easy access to London by train (31-50 mins) Cambridge by car(45 mins), Oxford (1hour) and other places of interest.

Brought the family to stay at Easter. There was plenty of room for parents and two young kids (2 and 5). The flat was lovely - huge en-suite bathroom, kitchen and dining area with everything we needed -we cooked and ate in every night. And Zuzana was happy to let us use the swimming pool and jacuzzi which the kids absolutely loved. Zuzana made us feel very welcome and cooked delicious breakfasts. There is a big garden to play in and a village green right outside to explore. The location is ideal for exploring Bedford and the surrounding countryside, and only 30 minutes drive from Cambridge. Overall we had a great time - would recommend to anyone and looking forward to coming back again.

Highly recommend this B&B and the lovely host Zuzana. Plenty of space in our room, nice garden to explore, swimming pool & hot tub to enjoy. Breakfast was excellent as well - full english with toast, fruit & cereal. And the rural location was perfect for us. If we ever need to stay in this part of the world again we will most definitely be re-booking this place.

I booked Pippins for my sister and her husband who usually stay with us but unfortunately we had a house full. They both enjoyed their stay with Zuzana so much that they asked me to post this review on their behalf. " we were a little later than expected but nevertheless, a really good welcome from the lovely Zuzana and spotlessly clean warm and cosy room ( more like a small flat) with lovely crisp white bed linen and really nice fluffy towels (all the nice stuff you get in good hotels rather than expect at a b&b so really pleased with that). There was a fresh bunch of daffodils from the garden on the table which was a really nice touch and it goes without saying that floating around in the warm swimming pool after a sauna felt unbelievably good after the busy day we had. Breakfast was brilliant, all locally sourced from the nearby free range farm shop ( we went there later and saw all the free range chickens scratching around) and cooked to perfection, both admittedly fussy with our eggs but no problem for Zuzana! We would recommend Zuzana and the Pippins to anyone, it was a real treat for us and a big thank you to you Zuzana . "

Christina2016-02-29T00:00:00Z

suzana is a very caring hostess, the house is very beautiful, there is a heated swimming pool. Large rooms with disabled facilities. Highly recommended.

Ningyu 2016-07-08T00:00:00Z

This studio was more like a flat. Huge. The kitchen was well equipped to cook any meal. The hot tub and pool was a treat. Great hosts felt totally comfortable. The breakfast too was perfect. If your considering staying, just stop thinking and book it!

Wonderful place to stay, Mika was a perfect host, quick to respond, very flexible with check in and the place is super cute, with a separate entrance and everything you could possibly want. The neighbourhood is lovely as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Antje2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

An extremely comfortable and well equipped place to stay. The host was always there to help if needed. Key bonus was it was self contained so helped with my early starts. I would definitely book again without hesitation and highly recommended.

Anthony2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

This is a perfect example of what an Airbnb place should be. Very friendly welcome, everything was explained efficiently- just what is required at the start of any stay. Had a great two nights-very quiet and peaceful. Very comfortable bed and great shower. Will certainly return. All-round splendid hosts.

Rod2017-07-26T00:00:00Z

A beautiful, relaxing place to stay. The bed is so comfortable - possible the best nights sleep I've had for ages! And Mika was amazingly welcoming. Everything you need was there. Thank you!

Fred2017-08-30T00:00:00Z

We stayed here on the 26th August. The hosts were very polite and accommodating, easy to talk to and to get on with, they made you feel at ease. The actually room itself had everything you require and was such a lovely place to stay! It has great character and history. There is parking at the back of the house which is available. The entrance to the ‘Barn’ feels like a secret garden! it was wonderful. Thank you to the you both! We would definitely use again!

Nick2017-08-27T00:00:00Z

Lovely to stay in an old building, beautifully decorated and renovated. Very quiet yet close to pubs, walking trails, etc

Louisa2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Cosy quiet room with own access and off road parking

The Chauffeur's Cottage at Ickwell Bury is within the same courtyard as our other property on Airbnb, The Old Dairy, all dating from 1680.
The Chauffeur's Cottage has just been completely refurbished and has wonderful views over our fields and meadows. The Chauffeurs Cottage has two double bedrooms and can accommodate up to four people with sole use of the house.

The Ground floor is split level with a large sitting room, fully fitted kitchen and bathroom on one level and the dining room and a boot room on another.
The bedrooms are on the first floor.
The cottage was the home of the Chauffeur and his family and was converted from the stables around a hundred years ago. It has now been completely refurbished and decorated.

Ickwell Bury is very peaceful. The village is one of the most picturesque in England and is famous for its Mayday festival and Cricket Club. Matches are played regularly on The Green at the bottom of our drive.
Close by is the Shuttleworth Collection of historic aircraft and vehicles. It holds regular public displays featuring their own and visiting planes. Shuttleworth also hosts a variety of events throughout the year.
We have good pubs and other places to eat nearby and there is an extensive network of public footpaths including The Greensand Ridge.
You are almost certain to see, or hear, a variety of wildlife including owls, dear as well as our own livestock.

Had a wonderful stay at Ickwell in the beautiful cottage set in lovely grounds. Perfect escape from London (40 min train). Christina and Simon were incredibly accommodating and gave us everything we needed and more. There are some lovely walks around and pubs you can stop at to eat. Thoroughly recommended

Elliott2016-08-29T00:00:00Z

We had such a wonderful stay in the Chauffeur's Cottage. Christina was a brilliant host. There is ample space for upto 4 people and the spec is of a very high standard. The grounds were particularly lovely and the house is surrounded by beautiful countryside to explore. Highly recommended!

Jessica2017-07-09T00:00:00Z

The cottage was absolutely stunning- even better than the pictures. The area is lovely and we went for long walks and checked out a couple of the local pubs. The cottage has everything you would ever need and more. We enjoyed a BBQ in the courtyard in the evening sun. Christina was super helpful and friendly. We really hope to visit again soon.

Laura2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

The photographs don't quite do this place justice! Brand new renovation throughout made it a joy inside and the surrounding acres of green fields and wildlife made it wonderful outside. Christina and her husband were perfect hosts, attentive to my every need, without ever intruding. I would recommend this property wholeheartedly :-)

Jennifer2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

We booked the Chauffeurs Cottage with a view to shooting some scenes for a short film. Christina was brilliant right from the first enquiry. She let me pop down and scout the location to see if it would be suitable, and even offered to swap out some of the furniture for us so we'd have just the right look for the scenes!. Communication prior to the day of the shoot was ace; she let us know who would be around the property, and left us some nibbles and bits for when we arrived. The property itself is beautiful... having completed the filming, I'm hoping to find time to come back for a weekend break just to enjoy the lake and woodland. I would highly recommend this lovely (surprisingly spacious) cottage to anyone looking for a short break or even a longer stay; both property and host are delightful :-)

Alasdair2017-05-10T00:00:00Z

Fantastic cottage for a great family break. We didn't want to leave!

Helen2017-05-19T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely weekend at Ickwell Bury with our 2 young children, no-one wanted to come home! The cottage is beautiful, really clean and very spacious. Christina kindly put an extra single bed in the second bedroom for our daughter which was much appreciated! We loved the amazing selection of fruit, tea and all the other goodies for breakfast. The location is just lovely, a beautiful estate, the kids loved exploring the 'secret garden' and visiting the sheep and cows. All in all a really special place and we hope very much to return!

Catherine 2017-07-23T00:00:00Z

The cottage is far more than you think, it's a very good sized house set within beautiful grounds in an idyllic village. We used for a Business meeting instead of staying in separate hotel rooms, which made it less than half the price and a great bonding experience for us enjoying Christina & Simons home together . Thank you so much for making our stay extra special, the fresh flowers, food & choccys we're a welcome treat. Can't wait to come again. Thank you
